In September 2021, I started actively contributing to the GitLab documentation and went through a full documentation cleanup. I joined the GitLab Heroes in November that year. Over time, I also started contributing on the code and implemented some improvements into the codebase.

I started contributing to GitLab in March of 2022, couldn't stop from there and August of the same year I joined the GitLab Heroes. The reason I joined was to improve the time tracking features offered by GitLab, but I ended up contributing to various other areas of the product.
